When is it time to walk?!

When the Lord says "GO!" Do you go? When he says "Wait!" do you wait? I cannot tell you how many times I don't want to go and I don't want to wait!
For the past month and a half (almost 2 months) Brant and I have been working diligently on building up our own business (which might sound cool, but is very hard work!!!) We are both working on this venture full time, which also means we don't get paid until the business gets off the ground. Praise the Lord we are not in a tight spot currently, but out of my humanly nature I could worry about 2 months from now if I wanted to...or I could badger my (sweet, intelligent) husband to let me get a job so that we would be secure. But after hours of prayer I have been given a sense of peace...Brant needs my support and encouragement (and ability to multitask) in order to make this business run. I know this idea was not something that Brant came up with out of thin air. It is something the Lord has given him, especially because it incorporates all of his talents; natural, God given, abilities. The Lord has called Brant and I to go...to move on a passion He has placed within us so that we may be able to focus on our family.
If Brant and I don't go now that we have been told to go...that is deliberate disobedience! And when we move when the Lord says Wait...again deliberate disobedience! How can you expect your children to listen to you the first time (because you don't like repeating yourself) when you are not listening to the Lord the first time? Do you remember to take time to listen to the Lord when He calls? What is He telling you?
Lord, I pray for each reader, may they have the ears to hear you call and the understanding of your plans for them. Lord may they be willing to do exactly the things you want them to do, when you want them to do it! I pray against the spirit of defiance and against the spirit of impatience. Lord, I know we want to serve you and I just pray that you continue to place it on our hearts to remember to talk with you as we walk on our journey you have given us called life! We love you and thank you for your blessings! Amen!
P.S total side note...Cade is walking more and more everyday! Praise the Lord for fearlessness!!

Too cool!

So I have realized that life hits you in the face hard. I have had quite a few "new" experiences this weekend...My baby turned 1, got his first hair cut, started taking more steps (BOLDLY), his 3rd bottom tooth (which is actually his 7th) started poking through and (though this is not new its important) we loved on our friends whom we haven't seen in a while! BAM! Life! It must go on in order for us to enjoy it...sometimes it just goes faster than we can imagine! I didn't think I would be this ok with it, but it has been amazing! It is so much fun to be apart of God's plan and to be raising our son with love and to Love our Lord. I could not think of anything better than to share these blessings with readers! Lord, you are obviously working in Mine and Brant's life and I am excited to see where you are taking us...may we be the parents and spouses you have designed us to be! We love you and praise you for your goodness! Amen!
